Info

Container Soils • Commercially available “cactus soils” are low in organic materials. They decompose less and they decompose more slowly than soils with a high wood and bark content. • An excellent long lasting container soil can be created by mixing ing cactus soil 50-50 with a potting soil that has rice hulls (which decompose much more slowly than wood and bark products) and organic nutrients, such as Kellogg’s ‘Patio Plus’.
Soil pH and “Salts” • When planting into the soil, soil pH and accumulated salts frequently affect the health and performance of fruit trees. • Sensitivity to soil pH and accumulated salts will vary by fruit type. Avocado and litchi are most easily damaged by salt. • Frequently, the soils in Southern California and the irrigation water we use are both high in pH and in salt. • Many fertilizers are also salts and many manures contain high amounts of salt. Both can affect the pH and salt level of the soil.
